JUKEBOX 2017: Most Melodious Tunes Of The Year That Was

2017 offered music buffs an ideal mix of foot-tapping and
soulful numbers. Let’s take a look at those songs which strummed the right
chords in these 12 months:

Zalima (Raees)

Shah
Rukh Khan and Mahira Khan starrer Raees might not have lived up to expectations,
but this track crooned by Harshdeep Kaur and Arijit Singh weaved magic and
became a radio channel favourite as well. The music has been composed by Pritam
and Amitabh Bhattacharya penned the lyrics.

Swag Se Swagat (Tiger Zinda Hai)

Peppy beats, picturesque locations and sizzling chemistry
between Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, the song had the necessary ingredients of
a chartbuster and it delivered and how! Composed by Vishal-Shekhar and written
by Irshad Kamil, we are sure this song will be a club favourite this New Year.

Tamma Tamma Again (Badrinath Ki Dulhania)

Tamma Tamma Again is a remake of the hit track Tamma Tamma
Loge from Thanedaar (1990) which featured Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit. It was
recreated for Badrinath Ki Dulhania which starred Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt
and was an instant hit.

Suit Suit Karda (Hindi Medium)

This Punjabi pop-cum-rap number features Irrfan Khan and
Pakistani beauty Saba Qamar. This song refurbished variant of the highly
popular 'Tenu Suit Suit Karda' by Intense comprising Guru Randhawa and Arjun.
The reworked number is crooned by the same set of singers.

Tan Tana Tan (Judwaa 2)

This
song is a rehash of the chartbuster Tan Tana Tan from Judwaa (1997) which
starred Salman Khan. The track was recreated for the second instalment and has
been crooned by Dev Negi and Neha Kakkar.

Galti Se Mistake (Jagga Jasoos)

This
is one song that most youngsters will relate to. A school-going Ranbir Kapoor jams
with his hostel mates about the importance of youth. Jagga Jasoos might not
have set the cash registers ringing but this song struck the right chord. The
peppy track is penned by Amitabh Bhattachrya and composed by Pritam. The song
has been crooned by Arijit Singh, Shubhanshu Kesharwani, Amit Mishra.

rendered by Harshdeep Kaur, Yasser Desai, Tanishk and Altamash Faridi.

regular couple’s moment of bliss. This one finds a spot amongst this year’s
best melodies for its sheer innocence and simplicity.

artist who is broken between her aspirations and the expectations from society.
The song has been sung by Meghna Mishra and composed by Amit Trivedi. The
lyrics are by Kausar Munir.

Enna Sona (Ok Jaanu)

The
best thing about the track is that despite being a rehash of Nusrat Fateh Ali

Jaanu features ex-lover Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur. The soulful song
has been rendered by Arijit Singh and the lyrics are by Gulzar.

Main Phir Bhi Tumko Chahunga (Half Girlfriend)
